Abstract

An automatic test-case generation system generates test-cases for validating a test specification for timing constraints, fault tolerances, distributed deadlocks, and synchronization at a system integration level of a distributed system. The automatic test-case generation system includes a model transformer for integrating functional model and platform specification. The functional model relates to an abstract model of at least one controller and the platform specification relates to details of platform components. A test specification transformer integrates platform specification, real-time requirements, and structural coverage criteria for generating an enhanced test specification for testing the distributed system. A requirements transformer integrates real-time requirements and functional requirements for the distributed system. An automatic test-case generator generates a set of test-cases that validate the test specifications of the distributed system as a function of the outputs of the model transformer, test specification transformer, and requirements transformer.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments generally relate to testing in-vehicle distributed embedded systems. Background technique [0002] In automobiles, some of the vehicle's characteristic functions are handled by electronics and control software applications. Such systems are distributed real-time embedded software systems that require a high integrity development and verification process. Ensuring model consistency and correctness across the various design steps is critical in the development methodology. Automotive software is typically produced as an initial abstract model of the controller, which is then validated using physical testing or formal inspection, and iteratively improved. A test sequence generated for testing software is a series of commands or instructions that are applied to the device, subsystem or system under test. Physical testing typically requires the use of physical components in an actual vehicle or the setup of a test bench to test or validate th...
